So I am looking at doing a group buy - I don't want 32 of these, but do want some. I am not willing to pay for shipping on a smaller amount, but with a 32 pack, the seller pays shipping.

If you are interested, I will resale these at cost, $4.29 each, plus $5.60 for USPS priority mail envelope. Envelope should easily contain 8 of these. Insurance of $50 is included, tracking is included.

IF you are interested, PM or respond to me here. If I get enough people to make this work, I will order and distribute them in the USA ONLY. If not enough are in , I won't.

Payment will be required prior to ordering, I will accept Paypal only, this insures both parties are protected. Tracking that shows USPS accepted it into their system is where my responsibility ends.

LMK gamers! Here's YouTube video to watch:

I would if they came assembled, I suck with scissors.

Get some resin ones from Fight's On store. Great guy and nice, cheap turrets.

If you want turrets, why pay for cardboard ones?

If you're gonna pay, why not just get them from Shapeways?

Why pay for prebuilds at all? Use the template I linked with nice constructions paper/cardstock, you'll have turbolasers coming out of your ears for a fraction of the cost.

Holy sh**, $4.65 for a sheet of paper. Man I'm in the wrong business.

If they were plastic then maybe... but for paper? sorry dude

Those ebay ones are way better than the linked free ones though. Love the detail when I saw the video showing how they build. But I agree I'd rather get the plans and then make them from plastic instead of paying for card.

But if you want the BEST turrets available and they are even prepainted check out these huge resin ones

I want a bunch but they are pricey but **** look how big they are.

These are the best I've seen, and I've seen them in the flesh (one of the ugly mugs at the bottom is me)

I like there asteroids even more, they used the cardboard ones as templates for the bases to keep them the same as the ones in the starter set.

Also note - anybody in the area interested in playing they have there tournament this Saturday and the winner can choose to have a pass in the first round of the regionals.

Thanks for the feedback folks. I'll assume so one wants to group order,

Well, those turrets are only about a 1/4" tall, you'd barely be able to see them next to a ship.

Actually the reason I threw that specific link out there was because of the price per turret.

They are pretty small, but I can't imagine asking someone to design then a bit taller (and hollow, to save materials) would be too much more expensive than those ones are.

Honestly with how simplistic the shape of a turbolaser is, you'd be silly not to just build them yourself.

There turrets are really nice, and if i could offord them i totally would have got 2, good luck find people though!

These are the ones I was referring to:

They are really nice resin ones. They do need to be painted, but two for $16 is a lot better than shapeways, and you can see the size relative to actual FFG minis.

But the X-Wing in the picture only has 1 peg on it, so the ships will be taller then that.

Ok...but their size is the same, which is the main point. You can run your ships on however many pegs you like. I almost always use one, but you can imagine the ships flying at whatever relative vertical level you like.

These turrets are still way bigger than the ones on shapeways, plus they rotate and elevate the gun positions, and are a very reasonable price, But buy the ones that appeal to you.
